Facility Maintenance Planning Survey
|
|
Developing a facility maintenance program involves determining the various types of maintenance tasks required to be completed in order to ensure that the facility is operating efficiently and effectively.
A facility maintenance program or a preventive maintenance plan consists of establishing a list of tasks and a maintenance schedule, outlining how long it takes to complete the task and who is responsible for ensuring the maintenance and task completion.
South East District would like your feedback to learn what we can do to support this type of planning.
